Hi - I've heard of lifters being a bit noisy when cold but not the other way -might just need an oil change due to some of the viscocity being lost due to age and contamination of the current oil - no harm in getting it checked over by a good indy to ally any fears.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.
